Pretty much the same, having reached a certain age before the internet was a thing, all my shit is out there already. I genuinely don’t care if Google has all my info from decades of Gmail, YouTube, googling, Android phones etc etc because they make it convenient for me to use all their products.

So I’m not on Twitter, Insta, FB or anything just because the experience of using it would suck. If they want to track me that’s fine, just don’t be gross about it and don’t get hacked (hoping I don’t jynx myself)
